"Didn't I say I'll be back as fast as I can? Just keep the hot stones burning steadily, and I'll handle this as quickly as possible," Orion replied, offering a reassuring smile.
Without waiting for Saria's response, he leapt off the side of the basket, sliding down the rope with his hands tightly clenched around it. Even if his body was strong enough to endure the friction, he let go before reaching the centre of the rope, diving headfirst towards the ground.
As he descended, utilizing his momentum to accelerate his fall, Orion summoned the four-meter Crimson greatsword into his grasp.
Activating his gift, and releasing his Vylkr energy from his two Vylkr containers, he enveloped it in a bluish hue.
With the appearance of the Crimson greatsword, Aerialia also manifested.
"What manner of creature is that?" Aerialia asked, her voice covered with a mix of shock and surprise.
